@Link-Hero _{psst do you know where one can find all seasons of Top Gear.........}

I like to watch this educational cartoon series from YouTube, Wild Kratts
The main characters are Martin Kratts and Chris Kratts. They are siblings both in cartoon and real life.

Here is one episode of Wild Kratts that explaining about Komodo, a giant reptile that only live in Indonesia 🇮🇩, my country.

@Sunsy Oh that's cool you got it with the soundtrack. I remember getting the Smash 4 soundtrack when I registered both Smash 3DS and Smash Wii U on Club Nintendo. It's a 2-disc soundtrack and it's pretty good, but my only problem with it is that all the music only goes on for one loop.

I do like having my favorite movies in physical format too. Most of the DVDs/blu-rays in our home are of my mom's favorite movies, but I do have some of my own too, like the Back to the Future 3-movie DVD set and a few Miyazaki movies. We have some Disney movies on blu-ray as well. Really glad I got Beauty and the Beast on blu-ray while it was around.

@Link-Hero I was joking, I'd ask Reddit anyway on where to find "stuff"...

@MarioLover92 @Eel, sounds like the two were similar. I was hoping they'd release it on one of the museum collections but doesn't look like it with the Ms. Pac-Man thing.......ah well.

BTW, if anyone here is in the Ottawa, Canada vicinity, hope y'all are safe. I was on my way home when that storm hit and it was the most terrifying drive of my life. I have never seen so many transformers explode in sequence and erupt in blue flames like that.......I could barely see through the wind and rain, branches were flying around and hitting my truck and trees were falling onto the highway in my rear view. I got home to two motorcyclists trying to take shelter next to my driveway.....I grabbed my 3 year old from the backseat and yelled "GET IN MY HOUSE!"......15 ft to the door and she and I were fully drenched. Insane!

@cordova94 What's going on in Ottawa?

@cordova94 interestingly a lot of the music in the game (so far) is remixed from Ms Pac-Man!

I suppose that makes it worse in this case…

Also, stay safe!

@Kermit1 the storm has passed but it was a severely violent thunderstorm and apparently a tornado hit a few spots (not us). I'm actually west of Ottawa on the Quebec side but it hit us before moving to the city......many trees down and in the city, power poles snapped and fell. Looks like power will be out for a good while for a lot of people. Some people suffered significant damage.

We got lucky, no damage to our property and we have power back already but we also have a generator to run the necessities if needed (like the water pump, the fridge/freezer and an extension cord).

@cordova94 wow, that sounded crazy, thankfully you're okay, and I just saw a video with the tornado and it looked crazy...

@cordova94 I think they're making those Namco Museum collections for their arcade games. Would be neat to see a Pac-Man World collection of some kind though.

Oh, and jeez...really sorry to hear about what you had to witness. That does sound terrifying indeed! Hope you two are ok, at least! I did go through a similar storm some years ago - we drove from my college campus that one night, and bam - a severe storm hit, and the tree branches even hit our car. We had to stop at a nearby convenience store until the storm simmered down. Fortunately, we didn't get hurt - we were all fine and dandy in the end, but man...that was scary!

@MarioLover92 I felt I owed some of the older Kirby games some attention, plus I don't want FL to make it harder to go back to them lol. I recommend playing base XC2 before Torna since the latter spoils a few things in that game.

As for the nature trails, we get all you mentioned here as well, depending on the season. There are enough squirrels to round up an army. XD Geese are rare since there's mostly just a river and creek, but they like hanging out elsewhere at local ponds. Same with other water-loving birds, like ducks and herons.

@BruceCM You're parents fit into the category where I wouldn't mind recommending satellite internet. I try to recommend what people should get based on their needs. I'm the default "computer nut" in my family, so I field a lot of questions. XD

@Sunsy Ah, yes, compiling. An essential, occasionally frustrating, yet ultimately rewarding part of development. I deal with this a lot with my job, though I confess it's been years since I delved in game development. Working through errors can be time consuming, but that moment when everything just works....I've heard of GIMP and seen it in action, though I've personally never used it. I'm too spoiled by MS Paint and all its modern iterations.

I think I found my mid-life crisis car

_{this is my favourite car of all time}

@MarioLover92 @Kermit1 @Eel, thanks guys! Apparently there is a name for it, it's called a Derecho. Wild. Everything has passed now. I wasn't sure if I should have pulled over rather than driving it but the highway near me is kind of exposed because of farm fields and with the transformers blowing and my daughter in the back, I was like "ok honey, sing me a song" and I just prayed to whoever to get me home because that seemed to be the most protected option. Once we got there, I got to go on the back porch and enjoy the storm on the tin roof though. I love that. My daughter talked about the "fire" for the rest of the evening.......she does the same when my husband lights the wood stoves.......I'm starting to wonder if I should worry. hahah

@Kermit1, I love that car. You might even pull me out of my Jeep for that (I've never owned anything but Jeeps.)

@cordova94 Fun fact about the car is it's an all electric from the 70s and you sit on the battery (free seat warmer lol)

@Kermit1 Wow that’s a very odd car, and I love it, it’s just so, captivating, just inviting me in.

@Snatcher I live for odd cars

Will be getting together for another weekend of D&D tomorrow. It's unusual that our group can get together so frequently but everything is just lining up schedule wise.

I have cleaned up my bedroom, moved my unused bags and things to house store room, provide 2 spaces for my XBOX + XBOX 360 games, PS1 + PSP and Wii leftover games on my shelf to prepare XBOX 360 machine at home.

Their internet is good enough for what they do, though, @Tyranexx .... It's bundled with the landline they like, living in a bit of a mobile blackspot

Yesterday, I found something very funny yet ironic at the same time to see a PS2 box with Super Mario pictures on it + In Theaters 2022. 🤣

Oh, boy...
What a fraud to deceive customers by telling them if there is newest Mario games on PS2.
Well, this is my country Indonesia, land of pirated games and hacked machines + games.
